And the voice of James Earl Jones as a commentator on what Baseball means to ordinary people is totally nostalgic! Oh yeah, and the Yankees are playing great right now! NOW, if we can only beat the Redsox at least one game!!!!

Thu, 30 Jun 2011 15:09:28 +0000http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=62040#comment-86444[7] I agree with you on Field of Dreams. Tough crowd round these parts.
[3] I enjoy Bedazzled for another reason. Holy Smokes! ; )

Thu, 30 Jun 2011 14:06:00 +0000http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=62040#comment-86443[1] I’ve long ago accepted the fact that I’m in the incredibly small minority, but I love Field of Dreams. Sure, there are some ridiculous moments — “Ray, when did all the ballplayers get here? — but the father-son element carries the whole picture for me. Give it a watch. But of course, you still might hate it.

I actually do think he’s an upgrade in the back of the ‘pen, always liked him as far as you can like a lucky arse replacement-level-plus scrub.

Heading back home to the states tomoorrow and got my ticket for the game on the 8th….could that be DJ3k? Am I holding a golden ticket? Perchance to dream…

Mahalo, Ed

I am not a parent but I saw it a few years ago. It’s easy enough to watch for the first 30 minutes but really, it’s a cloying, sentimental movie. Hard to stomach.

Oh, I absolutely detested “Field of Dreams” when I saw it as a snobby, pretentious film-studying college student..being older (if not wiser but definitely mellower) should I give it a re-watch?
